I've sold some balls to someone very famous. But I am under strict orders not to say anything to anyone about who she/he is. Ruppert from Survivior comes to the Indy show alot. Don't know if he's into balls per se, but he does maintain a reptile collect. I use to sell herps to Patrick Knight. The son of Bobby Knight, of IU Basketball fame. Patrick use to play ball for IU for his dad back when I had a reptile store in Indianapolis. He and his fellow team mates use to come in and case a stir with local fans.
Then once, I had this "actress" of the adult move scene come in lookng for an albino burm for a shoot...... But that's another story.....

Kerry King of Slayer has a snake breeding operation and will list
with us when he is ready to go.

Slash at one point had an extensive breeding collection, but I understand he has pared way down or is out at this point.

Gary Holt guitarist for the band Exodus keeps/has kept snakes

Tom Stevens of the band Nokturnal breeds colubrids and works for club kingsnake reviewing metal releases

Joel DuBay Sr. who works for Jeff Ronne is the former lead singer for Powermad

Derek Roddy drummer for Hate Eternal and Malevolent Creation also keeps and breeds colubrids.

I have heard that in the past Nicholas Cage has kept crocodile monitors but cannot confirm this.

Jim Kerry keeps or has kept iguanas
Nets center Mikki Moore keeps snakes
Robert Swift of the Sonics keeps snakes

and Alice Cooper, who does not actually own snakes, but borrows them from users of kingsnake.com when he needs to use them in his act.

I met up with Henry a couple of times and sold him some snakes. We hung out on his tour bus BS'ing herps and got to see him doing spoken word. He's a really cool down to earth guy.

Jose Canseco was at a little Herp Society show in Ft. Lauderdale area at least 10 years or more ago. I think someone said it was his wife that was interested though.

RNL Jun 21, 2007 05:06 PM

Jose is in to turtles he had a 50 pound softshell and a bunch of others he said if he was in a slump he'd buy a turtle (for luck).
